A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

That's literally the point of the meme: that there's a point where it's gotten good enough that you can't tell. And some models are at that point. That's why legitimate artists are now getting accused of using AI and finding it very hard to prove to people that they're not.
ok, so, you do realize there are feeds out there - youtube, tiktok etc., that are overflowing with ai slop? when I look at other people's feeds, they're being served up shittons of the garbage. I've been blocking those sources for ages now; and very little slop seeps through. when it does, I block / report. and tiktok, insta, low value resources just never get engaged with in the first place.
Does this stop everything? Well, these days, the hank green types are the biggest vector.
Then again, it's generally pretty easy to pick out when it's like this:

Are you just so gullible that it's easy to fool you with garbage?
How confident are you in your ability to define and block "slop"? Because the "slop" of today is very different in quality from the slop of even 6 months ago. In some cases it is literally indistinguishable
happy to take the pepsi challenge if you want.
I get that there's boomers out there that can't tell midjourney from their assholes, but I've consistently done well on tests like https://sightengine.com/ai-or-not and https://hfarid.org/misc/AIorNotQuiz/, and I've worked in computer graphics for 30+ years.
YMMV
